Abstract

A bodily support assembly for securely holding an infant in a play station includes the play station structured to contain the infant. A first support is structured to be positioned within the play station. A second support is structured to be positioned around the infant. The second support is positioned within the first support. The infant is securely held within the play station. A head rest is structured to prevent backwards tipping of the infant's head while the infant is positioned within the play station.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim: 
     
       1. A bodily support assembly comprising:
 a play station configured to contain an infant; 
 a first support structured to be positioned within said play station, said first support having an outer edge extending between each of a front surface and a back surface of said first support, said first support being elongated between each of a first lateral side and a second lateral side of said outer edge of said first support; 
 a second support structured to be positioned around the infant, said second support being positioned within said first support such that the infant is securely held within said play station; and 
 a head rest configured to prevent backwards tipping of the infant's head while the infant is positioned within said play station; and 
 a pair of first couplers each coupled to and extending laterally away from an associated one of said first and second lateral sides of said outer edge of said first support. 
 
     
     
       2. The assembly according to  claim 1 , further comprising said play station being structured to have a seat configured to support the infant, said play station being further structured to have a bounding wall surrounding said seat. 
     
     
       3. The assembly according to  claim 1 , further comprising said first couplers being complementary such that said first support is formable into a closed ring. 
     
     
       4. The assembly according to  claim 3 , further comprising:
 said play station having a seat surrounded by a bounding wall of said play station; and 
 said first support being positioned within said play station such that said back surface of said first support abuts said bounding wall of said play station. 
 
     
     
       5. The assembly according to  claim 1 , further comprising said second support having an outside edge extending between each of a forward surface and a rearward surface of said second support, said second support being elongated between a first lateral side and a second lateral side of said outside edge of said second support. 
     
     
       6. A bodily support assembly comprising:
 a play station configured to contain an infant; 
 a first support structured to be positioned within said play station; 
 a second support structured to be positioned around the infant, said second support being positioned within said first support such that the infant is securely held within said play station, said second support having an outside edge extending between each of a forward surface and a rearward surface of said second support, said second support being elongated between a first lateral side and a second lateral side of said outside edge of said second support; 
 a head rest configured to prevent backwards tipping of the infant's head while the infant is positioned within said play station; and 
 a pair of couplers each coupled to and extending laterally away from an associated one of said first and second lateral sides of said outside edge of said second support. 
 
     
     
       7. The assembly according to  claim 6 , further comprising each of said couplers being complementary such that said second support is formable into a closed ring. 
     
     
       8. The assembly according to  claim 7 , further comprising:
 said play station having a seat surrounded by a bounding wall of said play station; 
 said first support having a back surface; and 
 said second support being positioned within said play station with said first support being positioned within said play station such that said forward surface of said second support abuts said back surface of said first support wherein said first and second supports are configured to securely hold the infant when the infant is positioned on said seat. 
 
     
     
       9. The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said head rest comprising:
 a pad having a bottom edge; and 
 a panel coupled to and positioned behind said pad such that said panel extends downwardly from said bottom edge of said pad. 
 
     
     
       10. The assembly according to  claim 9 , further comprising:
 said play station having a seat surrounded by a bounding wall of said play station; 
 said first support being positioned within said play station such that a front surface of said first support abuts said bounding wall of said play station; and 
 said panel being positioned between said front surface of said first support and said bounding wall of said play station such that said pad is positioned above said first support such that said head rest is configured to prevent backwards tipping of the infant's head when the infant is positioned on said seat. 
 
     
     
       11. A bodily support assembly comprising:
 a play station, said play station being structured to have a seat configured to hold an infant, said play station being further structured to have a bounding wall surrounding said seat; 
 a first support, said first support having an outer edge extending between each of a front surface and a back surface of said first support, said first support being elongated between each of a first lateral side and a second lateral side of said outer edge of said first support; 
 a pair of first couplers each coupled to and extending laterally away from an associated one of said first and second lateral sides of said outer edge of said first support, said first couplers being complementary such that said first support is formable into a closed ring, said first support being positioned within said play station such that said front surface of said first support faces said bounding wall of said play station; 
 a second support, said second support having an outside edge extending between each of a forward surface and a rearward surface of said second support, said second support being elongated between a first lateral side and a second lateral side of said outside edge of said second support; 
 a pair of second couplers each coupled to and extending laterally away from an associated one of said first and second lateral sides of said outside edge of said second support, each of said second couplers being complementary such that said second support is formable into a closed ring; 
 said second support being positioned within said play station after said first support is positioned within said play station such that said forward surface of said second support abuts said back surface of said first support wherein said first and second supports are configured to securely hold the infant when the infant is positioned on said seat; 
 a head rest, said head rest comprising; 
 a pad having a bottom edge; 
 a panel being coupled to and positioned behind said pad such that said panel extends downwardly from said bottom edge of said pad; and 
 said panel being positioned between said front surface of said first support and said bounding wall of said play station such that said pad is positioned above said first support wherein said head rest is configured to prevent backwards tipping of the infant's head when the infant is positioned on said seat.
